Bennington Chevrolet’s Spring Maintenance Tips: 

The Main Console: Start by wiping down your console with a damp rag, paying attention to areas like the cupholders, change holders, and any other openings. Be careful to avoid any electrical connections on the console.
Windows & Mirrors: Over the winter months, windows and mirrors can accumulate dirt and debris, especially if you have children leaving their fingerprints everywhere. Use window cleaner to clean both the inside and outside for the best visibility.

Windshield Wipers: With spring’s rainstorms ahead, ensure your wipers are in top shape. It’s recommended to change them every six months, so take advantage of spring to replace them.

Carpeting & Upholstery: Winter mud and salt can wreak havoc on your interior. Vacuum the carpet and use a carpet cleaning solution to remove stubborn stains. For the seats, use a damp towel to give them a thorough wash.
The Trunk: Clear out any unnecessary items that may have accumulated over the winter. Vacuum the trunk, paying attention to cracks and crevices, and check the spare tire’s inflation.

The Exterior: Treat your vehicle to a full-service cleaning to remove the residue from winter elements like snow and salt. A car wash is a quick and cost-effective option. If washing the car yourself, use a soft sponge and mild detergent designed for cars, followed by a gentle towel wipe down and wax treatment.
The Engine: Show some love to the heart of your vehicle by popping open the hood and removing any excess grime. If the engine looks particularly dirty, consider bringing it in for a professional cleaning at Destination Nissan.
